I don't remember this game in 1984....

Welsh-born Billy Meredith joined City from Northwich Victoria in 1894 and became the first superstar in English football.

Huge crowds would gather whenever the brilliant right-winger attended a public event in Manchester, such was the popularity of the Welsh wonder who began his working life as a pit pony driver at a colliery just south of Wrexham at the age of 12.

Meredith made his senior debut for the Blues against Newcastle in November 1984 in a thrilling 5-4 defeat to City.
